I am a lycos mail user since 90’s, before they bought over mailcity. It was my main free email account until GMAIL appeared.
Not long ago, I received an email from the lycos mail team, saying they will be upgrading the accounts starting june - 26 june. The exisiting 5MB accounts will be upgraded to an ample 3GB accounts. In the email, they said the upgrading process is automatic one, nothing we need to do, just wait.
Chee bye. So I wait lah!! wait until 1st of July… kanneh why my account havent become 3GB one? still 5MB? diu!
As usual (like wad we did to get 250MB hotmail account), I update my profile to a US address, US zip code, city, etc.
And today, when I login, teng teng teng teng! it’s upgraded to 3GB, new interface, more space!

Don’t throw anything away.
Over 2741.221578 megabytes (and counting) 3GB (3072 megabytes) of free storage so you’ll never need to delete another message.

A true 3GB!
Another thing, you can send up to 20MB of attachment with the upgraded account.

The new interface allows you to drag and drop the files in your computer! You don’t have to browse at all.
But hor, Im not sure whether they will downgrade it in future or not, cos they DID before, I remember once they offering 6MB of space, then suddenly increased to 20MB (20MB consider alot in many years back), then they downgrade it to 5MB until now.
Anyway, if you’re into illegal mp3 and video clip, you may give it a try.
